I regard snack and meal times as a particularly important part of the day.

Eating represents a social time for children and adults and helps children to learn about healthy eating.

I provide nutritious food at all meal times avoiding large quantities of fat, sugar, salt, artificial additives, preservatives, and colourings.

I  provide homemade meals as much as possible, including homemade soups and breads.  

​

My aim is to provide children with a healthy, balanced, and tasty diet using a variety of colours, textures, tastes, and foods from different cultures.  

​

The children all sit together to eat and are encouraged to use good manners whilst eating such as not speaking with food in their mouths, using knives, forks, spoons correctly, sitting nicely at the table and not messing around whilst eating etc.

Children will also be encouraged to help at meal times like laying the table and helping to prepare simple foods such as sandwiches and salads. The children also enjoy baking treats from time to time!
